V-Chip

The V-chip can be very effective if used. When activated it can block all strong language and other things that children should not be exposed to. Ultimately it is the parents discretion to what they feel their children should be exposed to. My parents didn't allow me to have a TV in my room and we didn't have cable because of the content on cable programing. My parents wanted me to be a kid for as long as possible. I think had they purchased a television with a v-chip they might have gotten cable before I moved out. When I am a parent I will use the v-chip for many reasons. The main reason is there is content on television children are not ready to see.
